daily news and photography about cacti and succulents and some carnivorous plants too

'Siskiyou Pink'

These are strangely wispy plants with upright stems and weirdly stalkless leaves and flowers growing directly on the stems. Rose pink flowers of course.

They’re a wild addition to any closely cropped garden plan. Well, I should rather say that if you are uptight about your garden, then these are just the plant to loosen you up, so to speak, if you know what I mean, wink wink nudge nudge.

Ultimately, the problem is that there are too many California Natives. Too many plants grow wild in this state that we call our home. My head hurts.
